Crab Bisque
"This is a very easy recipe...my family loves it and requests it often...good cold weather food...great with crusty fresh bread...I often cook this without the recipe...I use my tastebuds when adding the sherry and sometimes add more or less flour depending on how thick I want the soup...Hope you all enjoy it as much as my family and I do!"

Good recipe but definitely needed some spice. I used 2 Tbs. butter for the onions, used 1/3 cup flour which gives a nice thickness and<br/>1/2 tsp ground red pepper, 1/4 tsp seafood seasoning (Chesapeake Bay)<br/>and a dash of paprika. Thanks so much.

I live right outside Pittsburgh PA with my husband. We live on a historic street that people come to see in the fall. Our street is lined with 100+ year old elm trees, so naturally fall ia my favorite time of year. I love to cook and experiemnt with new foods, I also enjoy photography and crafts. I love holidays because my very large family gets together and I get to create and entertain.
